This year saw the first of the ‘CHALLENGE’
stories, also an early reprint to mark the D-Day landings 2763 (187) ‘D-Day
Plus’.

I don’t know about you, but I was looking at
this years covers and seemed to recognise a couple of film stars.

On the cover of issue 2775 ‘The Joker’ Dalger,
the soldier looks like a young Gary Cooper and issue 2783 ‘Jack the Jinx’
Ibanez, I see a young Sean Connery.

Also on the same theme in 1995 issue 2835
‘Entry Forbidden’ there looks to me to be Clint Eastwood, dressed as a German
sentry, you know like in the film ‘Where Eagles Dare’ and in 1996 on the cover
of issue 2998 ‘Rogue Soldier’ the American soldier looks like a young Larry
(JR) Hagman.

Stop… Stop… Sorry about that, perhaps I’d
better get out more and get a life.

And the cover for 2774 ‘Space Watch’ Ian
Kennedy, would look at home as a Starblazer cover.
